Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using clear, removable aligners. Patients wear each set for two weeks, gradually shifting teeth into proper alignment. This discreet option allows normal eating and oral hygiene while achieving results comparable to traditional braces.
Wire Braces
Traditional metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires to correct misalignment. Modern designs offer smaller, more comfortable brackets with elastic ligatures that maintain tooth movement through periodic adjustments during treatment.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces feature tooth-colored brackets that blend with natural teeth. Made from durable composite materials, they provide aesthetic benefits while effectively correcting bite issues and spacing problems for adult patients seeking discreet treatment.
Orthodontic Treatment for Kids
Phase I interceptive treatment addresses jaw development and tooth positioning in children aged 7-9. This early intervention creates space for permanent teeth eruption and corrects harmful oral habits to prevent future orthodontic complications.
Emergency Care
We provide urgent care for broken brackets, poking wires, and loose appliances. Our team offers immediate guidance and same-day appointments when needed, with home care instructions available for temporary relief before professional treatment.

If I can give no star, I will. They are not personal and they don't care. My kid started Invisalign and entire time, I don't even know what the Doctor looks like. My child is a minor, do they really expect that a 15 year old can pay attention to everything Dr. said and follow without parental supervision? The fact is the doctor never bothered to contact the parent to explain everything. Having some office manager to tell me Dr. wants do Invisalign and just having the parent pay. What we are? cash cow? It's horrible experience. You probably get your money worth just go to those smile club.

Dr Choi and her staff are wonderful and professional. I really appreciate all the time and effort she took in helping my daughter fix a tooth that was growing on top of a permanent tooth. We have recommended many friends to her office. She is so knowledgeable and caring. Thank you again so much for all your help.

For minor, mostly cosmetic work, she's good. Expensive, but gets the job done well. My older child who really needed only subtle adjustment did really well. It feeds into the assembly line-like structure of her practice. They are well equipped to handle the simpler jobs, and the assistants are really nice. For major work, like my younger one needed, this IS NOT the place. I don't know if she doesn't have time to plan because her practice is busy, or if my child's teeth presented too much of a challenge. After extractions on three separate occasions, including all wisdom

Sooo thrilled with my results with adult braces ! I can thoroughly appreciate all the hard work and patience that goes into this process. The result? I feel good about the health of my teeth and show them off when I smile (something I avoided in the past). I had braces once before but my teeth had shifted and gone even more crooked than before. They're completely straight now
Dr. Choi is super friendly, welcoming & attentive. Throughout my two year treatment, she was always able to explain what was happening and why. She was understanding of work and life circumstances to make sure I

Dr. Choi and her staff are amazing. They were patient and thorough with me over the years I had my braces. They did a great job with my teeth and I would recommend her to anyone. This is a place where they really do care for people. Thank you again.

I've been seeing Dr. Choi since I was in the 7th grade, and now i'm going off to my second year of college in the fall. My orthodontist in elementary school was Dr. Ricupito in Fremont, who i would not recommend if you have children, because his assistants and desk staff WILL talk behind your back (more like in front of your face) and give you the rudest customer service you have experienced in your life. I wanted to mention him because Dr. Choi is the exact opposite. She is one of the most patient and kindest people I have met in my life, and she is absolutely wonderful and reassuring
